(GRLNTEJ 'UNDER THE FRGVESIOS Gl? THE ACT 0F MARCH 3, l1921, ll ST'I'. Il., 11313.)

To all Aw from it 'may concern:

lle it known that l. .llonmrr Fnnnnaioir HALL, a subject of the King of Great Britain and ireland, residing at Moseley, near Birmingham, in the county of lVarwick, England, have invented certain new and useful `lmproveinents in Machines for the Manufacture of Glass Articles, (for which l have tiled an application in England. No. 9,922, `filed July il), 1917, patent sealed N ov. 1Q, i921, No. 165,800; also a divisional application. bearing date of July l0, 1917, No. 14,359 of i918, patent sealed Dec. 6, 1921, No. 165,l12,) of which the following is a specification.

This application is a divison of my application for patent No. 222,257, lilcd March 13, lf-ll'l.

This invention relates to improvements in machines for manufacturing. glass articles. and refers more particularly to the mounting and operation of the knife which is used for cutting oli' the trailing glass from the bottom of the parison mould in a machine or the @wens or analogous type, suc-h as that shown in my co-pendinT application 399,427, filed July 27, 1920.

lt will be evident that in a. machine of the said type the parison mould is subjected to a movement composed of three elements, viz, overtical, horizontal and arcing' elements. i The object of the present invention is to so mount and operate the knife and its connections that irrespective of the above mentioned complex movement ofthe parison mould all the requisite movements of the knife are provided for. and that the knife can he maintained in the proper operative position relatively to the parison mold.

A further object of the invention is to provide a knife and means 'for operating it so arranged that, it will move closev to the bottom of the parison mold when moving in one direction, but can be lowered away from the bottom thereof when moving in the opposite direction.

ln order that my said invention may be clearly understood, I will now; proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. l is a diagrammatic. sectionalf'elevation of the machine showing the knife constructed and operated accordingl to one method of. carrying; out the invention.

\ Fig. shows a diagrannaatic elevation of a portion et the machine illustrating the knife with another form ot' operatingmeans.

The same numerals of reference are employed to denote the same parts in all the.

views, hoth as regards the present specilication and the specifit-ations of my copending applications Serial Numbers 399,427 and 399,425), both filed July QT, 1920..

ln these copending applications I have shown a revolving Ytrame having radially ei;- tendiircy arms 'from which depender heneath which are carried the different mechanisms and parts' for blowing a hottie or other hollow glzvss article. ln Fig. 1 olf 'the drawing. lo indicates a central Stationary part of the machine, and 2.8 one ot the .radial arms on the.; revolving frame. Ex tending downwardly from arm 28 to an annulus at the bottom of the revolving trame (notshown in 'this application) is a ver tical column 28 on which are pivotally carried levers 36 and 37. @ne end of each of' the levers and $37 is pivotally connected with the vertically movable weight 38, while suspended from the other ends ol the levers 36 and 3T by links l? is the casting i8 which carries' a vertical pin that forms the bearings for the parison mold arms '19 and 50. Thus a parallel link motion is obtained for raising the ira-me dal when the weight 88 is lowered by the cam mechanism described in my co-pendinpr applications hereinbefore referred to, and vice versa. As the trarne Z18 is raised it will be moved away Jfrom the center structure at 16, and as it lowers it lill will move nearer thereto, due to the 'fact that the levers 3G and 37 swingjY in an arc.

hlechanism is also provided for swinging the arms L19 and 50 on their respective bearingportions 53 and 5t in ahorizontal pla-ne to open and close the parison mold sections at the proper time. Thus, it may be seen that in addition tothe up and down movement of the arms 19 and 50, effected through levers 36 and 3T. the arms move in two other i; directions. i. e., they swing' in a `horizontal y'plane and move toward or away from the pea lze
